MrNarwhalker Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Currently on 12.9 and whenever I tap to open Options I will get a spinning loader over my cursor for a moment, and then nothing occurs. I've restarted and checked for updates but don't really know any other methods to troubleshoot this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinInSeattle Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) This is happening for me too. It was working once right after a fresh install, but as soon as I added about 300 games, it starts to freeze up. Actually, it seems to recover after 5 minutes of waiting.

MrNarwhalker Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) I've gotten responses on social media but not here, so following up: I reinstalled over the current LB, but that didn't fix anything. They recommend to remove my data files due to possible data corruption, but I don't know which ones, so I'm waiting on response.

MrNarwhalker Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 correct. closed, confirmed in task manager. deleted data folder (moved it to my desktop). relaunched. it loaded as if it were a fresh install and asked me how I wanted to import games. closed that pop up and hit options to a loading spinner followed by the above error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Can you confirm whether we are talking about Big Box or LaunchBox? That error is talking about a path/view that is used in Big Box, but I was reading your post as if you were talking about LaunchBox. At this point I'd do a fresh install to a new directory and see if you still have the issue. If not, copy your data folder back in, then see if you have the issue.

C-Beats Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 One thing I'd be curious on is if in \\LaunchBox\LBThemes\Default\Views\ you have an OptionsView.xaml file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNarwhalker Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 LB not BB. yes that file is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 3 minutes ago, MrNarwhalker said: yes that file is there Yeah, thats your problem. Do you have that folder set to readonly for some reason? That folder should be deleted and replaced on startup and it looks like that process is failing. If you delete that file you should be in better shape.

MrNarwhalker Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 there we go. deleted the file, restarted fresh and it worked. re-added my data folder and now all is back to normal. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
